Also, Shiju has been putting out India stats for some time now, and (Shiju) perhaps you can share/integrate what you do, in terms of depth, article quality and editorship with this information - perhaps you can have a conversation with Erik about this. This report is a subset of the report that is already available at http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm But it is real pain to filter and take the information of only those languages that we want (in our case, it is Indian language wikis). In fact I was preparing my monthly report like that only (using the above link) for the past 3 years. When I went to Gdansk to attend Wikimania 2010, I met Erik Zachte and we discussed various topics related to his wonderful site and statistical reports. During discussion, I mentioned the about the above issue with him. This special report for Indian languages came out as a result of that conversation with Erik. He published a post regarding this at http://infodisiac.com/blog/2010/11/wikipedia-reports-filtered-by-region/ I am happy that he remembered my request and implemented it. Article quality, page views, edits per article, number of active users, and so on are part of this new report also. http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN_India/Sitemap.htm Shiju On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 8:21 AM, Achal Prabhala aprabh...@gmail.com wrote: This is invaluable - thank you Erik, and thanks Gerard for bringing it to attention.

Hoi, Including English on the page for India only makes sense when the traffic is the traffic generated for the English Wikipedia in India. When the other languages have to compete with the world wide audience, the information is not really relevant.

Yes Gerard, I assumed it was obvious that we're talking about India-based traffic and edits to EN - the information is reported on the main stats page, my point was simply that it would be interesting to see in the same table (though we're measuring slightly different things, since the Indian language Wikipedia stats are not based on geographical origin but destination). ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

While at it, should the title be changed to something more accurate? Since the list includes Nepali (also the official language of Nepal), Bangla (the national language of Bangladesh, a bulk of edits come from there), Tamil (an official language of Sri Lanka, also a source of a significant number of edits), and Sinhala (one of the official languages of Sri Lanka and not spoken in India to my knowledge), shall we expand the list to include the remaining South Asian languages under the title Wikipedia Statistics - South Asia? - Sundar That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted. - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture From: Achal Prabhala aprabh...@gmail.com To: wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Sent: Wed, November 24, 2010 8:03:23 PM Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] You will love Erik Zachte for this :) Yes Gerard, I assumed it was obvious that we're talking about India-based traffic and edits to EN - the information is reported on the main stats page, my point was simply that it would be interesting to see in the same table (though we're measuring slightly different things, since the Indian language Wikipedia stats are not based on geographical origin but destination). ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Hoi, I just learned that Erik has created a special version of the traffic statistics for India. http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN_India/TablesPageViewsMonthly.htm When I look at the numbers, I do not understand why Malayalam is doing so poorly. It is not that it has a limited number of viewers, it is that it has gone down so much. This is also true for other Wikipedias. What is happening and, more importantly what can be done about it ???
